Joost van Griethuysen started studying medicine in Maastricht in 2009. Throughout his studies, Joost had taken a liking to radiology, prompting him to combine his final clinical and scientific internship at the radiology department of the MUMC. It was here that he first met with prof. dr. Regina Beets-Tan, who proposed a PhD-track investiating Artificial Intelligence in Rectal Cancer as part of a new collaboration between her research team and that of prof. dr. Hugo Aerts. After receiving his masters’ degree cum laude in 2015, Joost joined prof. dr. Beets-Tan in moving to Amsterdam to work as PhD-Candidate at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek/The Netherlands Cancer Institute, and supplemented his work with several visits to Boston to work as part of prof. dr. Aerts’ team.
In December 2019, Joost finished his PhD contract and started his clinical residency at the radiology department of Gelre hospital in Apeldoorn on a part-time basis. In the additional spare time, Joost continues his research as well as the development of software intended to automate key pre-processing steps in the radiology research workflow at The Netherlands Cancer Institute.
In October 2021, Joost successfully defended his PhD-thesis titled "Artificial Intelligence in Rectal Cancer" at the Maastricht University.
